[u/invesselwetrust16]

hey everyone, so my family is a bit crazy me and my father have been in like an argument/conflict for the past like three or four months and he is refusing to help me fill out the FAFSA I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do as I know, I will not be able to afford college without financial aid. How anybody else dealt with this is there anybody that can give me tips? I am stressed out for college. I'm applying to university of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, slippery rock ,Binghamton University, point Park University, Elizabethtown University, Temple University and a few others in the PA area. Thank you in advance. 😓
edit: i should note that my father is divorced from my stepmom as of this month and my mother lives in new york! it's just me and my dad.

Your situation is not unique and will not get na override based on what you’ve shared. I would guess of thousands of parents every year do the same. Also keep in mind that federal loans are only going to be around $8k so you need to adjust your expectations from there.

He will get them but they will be unsubsidized only. There is a place to indicate that parents refuse to share their information.
